I'm new to QGIS and have no programming skills, is there an easy/uncomplicated way to create multiple buffers around a line feature.

I have had the same problem. I found that you can do multiple ring buffers in OpenJump. Which is another open source GIS and may be suitable for your requirements. |

Not as far as I know. I think you'll have to make the buffers in separate shapefiles (Vector -> Geoprocessing Tools -> Buffers). Nick. |

If you are just looking for visual buffering (not creating the buffers as accurate features), you can utilize the 'new symbology' and build up symbol layers, basing their size on map units. Click 'Change..' under the symbol to add layers. Also, look into rule-based symbols for logical control over what gets visually buffered. |
