Actually, he cannot train in the Ex-am built, except to train existing

Where does it say you can't train in a experimental amateur built?

The relevant paragraph is that an experimental cannot be used to carry
persons for compensation or hire. That includes flight instruction.
There are two exceptions, that I know of, to this rule. 1. You can hire
a CFI to train you in your own experimental since the CFI will not be
operating the aircraft for compensation. You, as the owner will be
operating it. 2. The FAA routinely provides a training exemption to
experimental Gyroplanes since there are virtually no certified
gyroplanes available for training.
