Dear Petnik,
Normally, Base training for the purpose of acquiring the privileges of a type-rating need to be completed through an ATO.
Nevertheless, if what you say is correct - no ATO able to provide said training on the Learjet 35A - then you should contact the issuing Authority to enquire about the way to go. I would say there is little (if any) room to have the TR endorsement without the Base Training.
