Absolutely not. His options are simple: get a checking account and savings account and always keep a decent amount of money in each (to show your stability), get a cell phone and make all his payments on time, always pay for car insurance and other insurance perfectly on time, get a shitty little $250 limit credit card (anyone can get one of these) and use it lightly but regularly. Don't charge more than you can pay off, always pay on time or a bit early, don't charge more than 30% off your credit card unless it's an absolute emergency and you pay it off during the next billing cycle in full.
Building credit is actually extremely easy. Just be sure that you always are aware that when you're spending money, you have the currency to back it up. Be aware that when you slide your c/c, you're spending money.
