I am a Principal Solutions Architect with 13 YOE of which 5 years exp is with Biotech focusing on Public Cloud (AWS) & overall AWS exp. 9 years. I need suggestions /opinions if applying for a Senior Solutions Architect (Level6) at AWS makes sense or if I should aim for a Principal SA (level 7) role at AWS with Healthcare & Lifesciences industry experience. If it makes any difference, I worked for AWS ProServe as an external SA in the past. Any insights / feedback appreciated.

Look into low code apps. Most of them have free online training so you can start learning quickly. It’s declarative programming (mostly) rather than development so easier to get started. Then find a non-profit to volunteer time at working on software of choice to get experience.
Might consider doing a bootcamp. I would vet the job placement opportunities but this is a path for more people than you might expect.
You will have to do the research by googling and networking. Anyone who has graduated from one will tell you a biased opinion to justify the x amount of money spent on tuition.
He is taking an online intro computer science course to start but is wondering what his next steps should be with the eventual goal for getting a job as a developer. He is debating learning coding languages and getting certifications but without any real work experience, he is afraid it might be difficult to get hired. Does anyone have any advice to make the best case possible for someone to want to take a chance on him knowing that he will have to be trained on the job?
Coding bootcamps and leetcode - he will likely need a portfolio showcasing his projects.
Coding bootcamps. Those are great
Tell him to consider starting off by looking for QA/Software Testing gigs - this will allow him to get exposure to how software is developed while working with developers, BA’s, and Solutions Architects, without the stress of actually having to develop it initially...once he learns the process (Agile most likely) and SDLC and understands it, then try to make the transition to development at the same company. It’ll be easier to break into it this way as opposed to jumping right into development...just my two cents
