no - but it makes you a solicitor.
A law degree doesn't neccesarily mean you will qualify as a solicitor.

You can take the CPE over 1 or 2 years - the best way is to take the flexible learning course and you can work at the same time. Once you pass you can then go on to the LPC to become a solicitor or BVC to become a barrister. But you must have a degree already otherwise you will not even get on to the CPE.
Try www.flexible-learning.co.uk for some excellent information.

The Common Professional Exam is a one year full time law course which is taken by those who have degrees in subjects other than law. It is commonly referred to as the law conversion course. It is not a degree,but at the same time it allows access to things like the Bar Vocational Course on equal footing to those who have law degrees.
its also a lot more intense than a 3 year LLB and there is less messing about/introductory information
