Can I use 'Have past particles'+ 'during the period of time (in the past)'

Hello Everyone,

I am writing an essay about my placement that happened in July 2011. I am wondering what tense I should use in my essay. For example, "I have achieved this goal during the placement." is correct or not?



Thanks!
