create a new field group in functions.php then add it in your template code like this

// in functions.php //

add_action('acf/register_fields', 'register_field_group');

if(function_exists("register_field_group"))
{
    register_field_group(array (
        'id' => 'acf_form-post-title',
        'title' => 'Form Post Title',
        'fields' => array (
            array (
                'key' => 'field_25',
                'label' => 'Title',
                'name' => 'form_post_title',
                'type' => 'text',
                'default_value' => '',
                'formatting' => 'html',
            ),
        ),
        'location' => array (
            array (
                array (
                    'param' => 'post_type',
                    'operator' => '==',
                    'value' => 'course',
                    'order_no' => 0,
                    'group_no' => 0,
                ),
            ),
        ),
        'options' => array (
            'position' => 'normal',
            'layout' => 'no_box',
            'hide_on_screen' => array (
            ),
        ),
        'menu_order' => -2,
    ));
}

// in you template page //

acf_form(array(
   'post_id' => 'new_post',
   'new_post' => array(
      'post_type' => 'custom',
      'post_status' => 'draft',
      '
   ),
   'field_groups'   => array(49, 'acf_form-post-title'),
   'submit_value'   => 'Submit',
));
