I would say the best PMP® Training institute not by one name, but the one that has the following features 

• Live virtual training 

• Lifetime access to recorded video

• End of sessions, quiz and activities 

• Well qualified and experienced trainer 

• Approved by PMI®

Yes, several institutes, Including StarAgile offers online training for PMP® certification. Due to the Covid pandemic the concept of online training started and in the last year, it has become the most popular mode of training. However, check if the online training is a live virtual training, enabling live interactions for a better understanding of the lectures and concepts. 

The course that is conducted as a workshop rather than theoretical is the best. Project Management is an art and that has to be practiced with scenarios and cannot be read in books. Therefore, the best course module should include all topics with practical examples and not just a theory explanation 

PMP® Course originated in the USA and is now a global certification. Similarly, Prince2 originated in the UK and is also a global certification. It depends on what you want to learn and implement the best practices for the organization. PMP® Training is knowledge-based and Prince2 is process-based. You can take any of these to be a certified project manager. Both are for project managers. 

Yes PMP® exam can be taken online. You need to decide in advance for the PMP® exam date and schedule the exam. This is because it is a proctored exam and a live proctor will watch you during the exam. This online exam can be taken in the comfort of home or office. You need to have a webcam, laptop, a good internet connection, and a quiet place to appear for the 4-hour exam.

PMI® will not be updating the PMP® exam after the release of the PMBOK® Guide 7th Edition. Since both the PMP® exam and the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition use updated and accurate terms already used by project managers in the field, there is no need to update the exam after the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition is updated.
