What it actually is
HK-dir administers Norskprøven, the state Norwegian test covering A1 through B2 with a separate C1 examination for academic and professional purposes, and it is the certificate Norwegian permanent residence and citizenship applications actually ask for. The portal is where you read what each part contains and register for a sitting. Information is free; the test itself is paid and sat at approved centres. This is exam administration, not teaching — learn the language elsewhere and come here to certify it.
