Welcome to Chartering

Does anyone know of a good school where you can learn how to handle a large yacht?
I have a friend who is interested in learning to sail and I advised him of taking a U.S Coast Guard Approved course and then becoming familiar with handling a small craft, then sailing with others then perhaps taking a navigation course. He wants to get right into the larger boats but I am afraid that would be unsafe for a beginner. Any thought? I recommended the Annapolis Sailing School for a start. He lives in Pittsburgh, Pa but can travel to any destination.
