A car bomb went off in the city centre outside a technical college on the main road from Erbil to Kirkuk.
While much of Iraq has been plagued by near-daily violence, Kurdistan's capital has avoided much of the deadly unrest.
The last major attack in Erbil was in September, when fighters launched a coordinated suicide and car bomb attack on the headquarters of the security force.
