If your friend is based in the Toronto area the Bookbider's Guild has a program that is delivered in series of workshops. Otherwise there is the Collections Conservation and Management program at Fleming College in Peterborough Ontario - though bookbinding would only be a very small part of the program. There is also Queen's Master of Art Conservation program in Kingston which has a paper specialization but I don't know to what extent bookbinding is covered. Another option would be to apprentice to a bookbinder.
