I am about halfway through the PMI course online with PMBOK 6 - had to take a 6 month hiatus because I was brought in to do project coordination for an acquisition/integration. I saw that the PMBOK 7 will be used early 2023.

Hayley -
Most good quality PMP prep courses (PMI's as well as independent ones like Velociteach) as well as the best known self-study guides have been updated to include the necessary agile & hybrid content.
