The SA-ITF is comprised out of a number of Federations, known as Kwan. Each Kwan is made up of a number of Academies. An academy is the group term used for a group of schools (dojangs) that share a common identity (and usually have the same chief instructor). The original academies are known as Level 1 Academies. When a group of schools (at least 3) under a consisting Level 1 Academy wants to form an academy they can apply to become a Level 2 Academy under their Level 1 Academy - and so forth.
