present perfect or simple present with "no experience"

[hela]

Hello,

Would you please tell me if it is correct to use the present perfect with the expression "no experience" here?

"I'm afraid he has had no experience as a teacher of English."

In my view, either the simple past or the present simple is required.
The simple past to talk about a past state, and the simple present to discribe a present state.
It is not a matter of duration here, isn't it?

Thank you in advance.

The present perfect "has had" and the simple present "has" both work. The past tense "had" does not.
