You can give her a few bucks to buy access to the class. Otherwise, nope.

Not within the mechanics of the game/market - you could always just give her £10/$15 so she could buy it 
As an added bonus it would get her two reward tokens that will unlock things like most of the non-global chat channels, tells, ability to join SGs, trading, etc.
Edit: Or for the same money you could buy her a month's VIP sub so she can see all the neat stuff and then decide if she wants to carry on afterwards.

The only way I can think of is if you create the account for her and pay whatevers needed to get it to the point you want then remove your credit card details, change the email address linked to it to hers and give her the details. Then if she wants to go vip she just has to add her own payment details.
Thanks guys for the suggestions 
. I wish they would add gifting, would make it easier since she lives in another country ;(.
The "different country" thing is a whole other bucket of issues due to the way the NC Store is set up.

With you all the way. I would have given out probably ten thousand points worth of stuff so far if I could only gift it to people.

Prior to the new model, I asked the billing team if there was any way to gift someone subscription time and was told there was not a way directly, but that I could purchase an NCSoft game time card and give it to them (or just pass along the number). I assume that still works (for VIPs), but finding the cards has become more difficult despite the fact that I buy them all up whenever I find them (mostly at Best Buy stores).
I was hoping that we might have more options with the introduction of the Paragon store, but no such luck so far. I'm hoping they can find a way to overcome the security concerns and allow us to buy VIP time or points for friends. I'd really like to be able to help out RL friends who fall on tougher financial times and in game friends who do particularly great things for the community and my gaming experience.

Also, paypal is an option in the paragon market.
Also, if you find a box code that would work as well, and you can find it for less that $15 sometimes.

Here is a helpful link for getting time on peoples accounts. The game card site listed in the link has upped their prices a little bit.

Not only have they upped their prices a bit, but also the 60 Day time cards (both the US version and the EU version) are out of stock.|

The current prices they list are $22.50 for the 60 Day US card, $16.99 for the 30 Day US card, $26.99 for the 60 Day EU card and $15.99 for the 30 Day EU card.
I've bought from them in the past and had 0 problems with the purchase or receiving the code. The code applied easily on the NCSoft site once I logged into my account.
There are quite a few sites that come up in a Google search using the following search terms:
PlayNC Time Card
Some have only the US cards, some have only EU cards and some have both. Some are digital delivery which means no shipping charges, you receive the keys in a short amount of time and you can then email them to your overseas friend if you bought the correct card for their account.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Buy her a cheap copy of the game off of Amazon. That'll get her a month as a VIP and access to MM's during that time frame. Then when it expires she'll drop to Premium.
Can't you convince her to try the game with another AT? She doesn't need to play it for long, just long enough to get a feeling for the game and decide whether it's worth shelling $15 for the MM.
