Objective - In an increasingly changing and dynamic South African higher education landscape, institutions must communicate their brand to stakeholders to perceive the institution as offering quality services,to have a loyal stakeholder. However, thereseemsto be little attention devoted to the influence of brand communication, brand satisfaction and service quality on brand loyalty in higher education, particularly in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector. Considering this view, and noting that prior research on brand loyalty in the service sector has shown a connection between brand communication, service quality, brand satisfaction and brand loyalty, it is unknown if a similar correlation is found in the South African TVET sector. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate Generation Y students' views of brand communication, brand satisfaction and service quality in the TVET sector throughout the Gauteng Province of South Africa.As a result, this paper summarises the findings of a pilot study to establish the validity and reliability of a questionnaire used to examine Generation Y students' perceptions of brand communication, brand satisfaction and service quality related to brand loyalty in Gauteng TVET colleges. Methodology/Technique - The variables for the paper were derived from previously established questionnaires. A section of the questionnaire asked students about their views of a TVET's brand communication. Additionally, there were questions concerning the quality of service, brand selection and brand loyalty. Finally, all scale items were modified to be more contextually relevant.The questionnaire used a six-point Likert scale, with 1 indicating strong disagreement and 6 indicating strong agreement. The questionnaire was piloted with a convenience sample of 50 students not included in the primary study's sampling frame. Finding - The overall number of respondents (46) was insufficient to undertake extensive statistical testing. As a result, only frequency and correlation coefficients were computed. Correlation analysis revealed a substantial association between brand loyalty and the variables that influence it. All had a strong association between brand loyalty and brand communication, service quality and brand loyalty and satisfaction. Additionally, there were substantial correlationsbetween service quality and brand satisfaction and between service quality and brand communication. Correlation coefficients between constructs ranged from 0.294 to 0.781. This demonstrates that these constructs do not correspond to the same concept. As a result, all construct items were kept for use in the main study. Novelty - The results from the pilot study provides preliminary support for the hypothesised relationship between brand loyalty and its predictors. Marketers and service organisations need to recognise that the future patronage of a service organisation depends on loyalty. Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords: Brand Communication; Service Quality; Brand Satisfaction; Brand Loyalty; Technical and Vocational Training JEL Classification: M31, I23, I29

According to Akoojee and McGrath (2008:132), TVET colleges are required to build institutions that are attuned better to satisfy the needs of the stakeholders through their brand. Very few TVET colleges have attracted stakeholders without proper brand communication and service quality (Beneke & Human 2010: 437). In most TVET colleges, very little is done to communicate the brand to stakeholders, which may be a direct result of the lack of proper brand communication and service quality (Azoury, Daou & El Khoury 2013:5). In an increasingly changing and dynamic South African higher education landscape, it is imperative for institutions to communicate their brands to stakeholders in such a way that these stakeholders perceive the institution as offering quality service in order to have a satisfied stakeholder who is loyal to the institution. However, there appears to be little attention paid to effects of brand communication, service quality and brand satisfaction on brand loyalty in the tertiary education sector, especially in the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) sector. This study was conducted in Nigeria. In light of this view, and given previous research on brand loyalty in service industries identifying a relationship between brand communication, service quality, brand satisfaction and brand loyalty, it is unclear whether such relationships exist in the South African TVET sector. Therefore, there is a need to examine Generation Y students' perceptions of brand communication, service quality and brand satisfaction on brand loyalty in TVET colleges in Gauteng. Consequently, this research study reports on the findings from a pilot study conducted to determine the legitimacy and reliability of the measuring instrument being employed to examine Generation Y students' perceptions of brand communication, service quality and brand satisfaction on brand loyalty in TVET colleges in Gauteng. Keywords: Brand Loyalty, Brand Communication, Service Quality, Brand Satisfaction
