Jerry:
Sure is possible to get a Tech license without code.  In fact, if you 
want to upgrade, and you have passed 5 WPM in the sometime past, it will 
carry-over into your new ticket.
So,
1)You don't need code for a new tech license
2) If you've ever passed code, even at 5 WPM and have something to prove 
it, you don't need to take it ever again.  (I happened to save my old 
CSCE (Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination--whew!)  So 
right now, I'm at General level with all code privileges, and that is 
with not having listened to CW since 1991 or so.
And, as a kind of aside, John Ferrell, (Extra Class, W8CCW) and I are 
exploring computer programs to brush up on Morse; they've got some great 
learning programs out there.  If your friend wanted to visit the ARRL 
web site, he could get filled in on what's available.  I believe 
WWW.ARRL.org might get him started.  (Might be .com)  In any event, a 
web search would show it.
3)If you do decide to get a Tech license, and get the code, you will 
have additional operating privileges, should you decide to exercise them.
If I can help out any other way, just drop me a line.
